THISSSS I'm so fucking sick of youtubes backwards censorship. I saw someone talking about a horrible situation where someone committed suicide and every time, every fuckin time, it was referred to as "unalive-ing himself." Like really? We're censoring the human condition now ?? All to line the CEOs pockets as much as possible ig
in reply to @jaidamack's post:
This kinda reminds me of the World of Darkness TTRPGs discussing WWII.
Like, those are games filled with malevolent beings and supernatural evils of all kinds - Specifically ones that do unspeakable things to human beings.
But WWII, Nazis, and specifically Hitler? Yeah, all humans.
I remember being shocked by that as a kid who played Werewolf.
"Hitler wasn't possessed by The Wyrm?"
"Nah. Didn't need the help."
For all the other problems those games had/have, at least they saw that issue a mile off. And I wish more people and institutions did.
It's something that frustrates me to no end because it stifles entirely the ability to critically examine and answer a question like, "How did people let that happen?" which never stops being important.
Entirely and completely. Everyone is too concerned with justifying and explaining how it could never be them. It is undercuts an important understanding about how it can happen and where.
I'm seeing the effects of this real time in a way that's likely to threaten me and the people I care about. But people are too concerned about decorum to see the rising tide of fascism.
It's in the same vein as having to censor words like suicide and sexual assault. You have to say things "self exiting" and "SA'd" and it's just... The world is full of terrible things, but we can't stop those terrible things if we don't talk about them like grown ups.
I said to someone the other day that I didn't generally think of 'youtube' and 'educational' going together, in spite of there being some decent video essays there. This is the kind of thing I meant. When you can't even voice certain fairly common concepts without having your monetization wished away into the cornfield, well. In our world, money usually wins the argument.
(speaking of arguments, I'm remembering now that the worst, most toxic commenting on the internet originated on Youtube, and spread out from there.)
Yup. Yuuup. I wish I had anything more meaningful to add, but I think we could just nod our heads at one another with intermittent sighs and rolling of eyes.
